Launched in 2010, Farm Journal Legacy Project workshops help families begin the process of transitioning their family farm to the next generation. The succession planning program hosts approximately 12 events in a different city each year. The Legacy Project workshops offer hands-on training with you hearing from three speakers who are experts in succession planning, tax and legal issues. Also, you will use a step-by-step workbook to assist in your readiness and help with implementation of your plan.

Registration is from 8 a.m. - 8:45 a.m. The event will run from 8:45 a.m. - 4 p.m. Lunch will be provided.

At this one-day session, you will find answers to your critical questions, such as:

What are the components of a good succession plan?

When is the right time to give up control?

What is an equal and/or fair way to compensate all family and non-family members involved in the farm?
